"Great experience with Rene' Advanced Drywall. Got what I felt was a fair price for the drywall repairs I needed done. Rene came by and made the repairs in an hour! The job was handled very professionally and Rene was a pleasure to work with. I'm very satisfied with the results, and there is no doubt in my mind about recommending him to others or calling him again for another job. Thank you!""

"Vlad gave me a very reasonable estimate for a project to repair plaster, install drywall, and paint the walls around my house.. His team was always on time and did a great job of keeping the house clean while they were working and cleanup afterwards. I hope to use them again soon for additional projects in the future."

"Benny arrived when he said he would and worked to keep pace with his timeline. He would arrive at 9 and not leave till 7 if that’s what needed to be done. He installed drywall and redid electrical work and did a wonderful job. Finished it off by painting, which was great as well. Overall happy with the work done. Don’t mind the doors, window, or rug in the pictures. They’re being redone as well."

"Bryan’s team did an excellent job painting both the walls & woodwork in our den, kitchen, powder room & laundry room. Did great with the wall prep, including skim coating the powder room, where we had them remove the wallpaper. Both team members were courteous and easy to work with. Worked cleanly. Price for the job was very fair. We would definitely recommend Bryan & his team!"

"We needed to remove old Popcorn Ceilings from our entire house. We also needed to remove wallpaper and paint one room. We got a few estimates from different businesses. â On The Job Paintingâ sâ price was on the medium to lower end but most of all, we were impressed with the owner, Keith. He responded to us right away and gave us an estimate. He seemed very informative and trustworthy. We decided to go with â On The Job Paintingâ and we couldnâ t be happier. The crew was on time and prepared everything really well. They cleaned up everyday and worked with us about what rooms to do to make our lives easier while we were still living in the house during this process. My wife and I would highly recommend this business to anyone. I would not hesitate to hire them again for my next project."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Knowing what causes drywall damage can help stop it before it starts. Here are some of the most common causes of drywall damage: 

  • Water damage from roof leaks or leaky pipes. 

  • Small holes caused by doorknobs, minor accidents, and rodent infestations. 

  • Wall dents stemming from moving furniture and minor accidents. 

  • Wall cracks that form from a settling foundation or seismic activity. 

  • Nail pops from nails and screws in the walls. 

  • Large holes that are caused by accidents with heavy objects, children and pets, or sporting equipment.

Ceiling-mounted curtains won’t damage the ceiling if they’re installed properly. Using the right anchors or securing the brackets into joists will ensure the curtain weight is properly supported and prevent damage. However, overtightening screws, using weak anchors, or repeatedly removing and reinstalling hardware in the same spot can cause cracking or sagging over time. In that case, you might have to call a pro for ceiling repair.

Which style of corner bead you choose—whether metal or paper-faced—depends on your preference and if you’re comfortable using metal-cutting tools and a hammer. Metal bead offers superior strength and durability but its installation is slightly more involved. We’d say for most cases, it’s better to use metal bead but if you’re not comfortable working with metal, paper-faced bead will work just fine. 

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.

Whether you apply the drywall mesh before or after drywall mud depends on the type of patch it is. For self-adhesive patches, you’ll put the patch down first and then coat it with mud. Mesh patches that are not self-adhesive will require you to put mud down first and then press the mesh into it, followed by additional coats of mud.
